Coronavirus in Fuerteventura - Discussion

[milestone 11]

Official update (as of yesterday 8PM):

1,958 cases of COVID-19 Coronavirus since the beginning of the crisis. 771 people hospitalised of which 147 in ICU, 589 discharged (25 in Fuerteventura - thanks Lorena) and 102 deceased.

All cases by island:

Tenerife 1,245
Gran Canaria  503
La Palma 83
Lanzarote 76
Fuerteventura 38
La Gomera 10
El Hierro 3

The total number of affected health professionals is 416.

New cases in the past 24 hours: 14 cases - less than 1% growth.

And still the increase of HCP's inexorably rises. +13 since previous update.

Just a little something to lighten the mood. Anyone who has ever visited the Isle of Man, a fantastic place, will have bumped in to this fella who'd made the Island his home after retirement. My pal, a government essential employee, whilst on his daily exercise sent me this pic tonight.

Official update (as of yesterday 8PM):

1,975 cases of COVID-19 Coronavirus since the beginning of the crisis. 781 people hospitalised of which 152 in ICU, 622 discharged (27 in Fuerteventura - thanks Lorena) and 104 deceased.

All cases by island:

Tenerife 1,258
Gran Canaria  507
La Palma 83
Lanzarote 76
Fuerteventura 38
La Gomera 10
El Hierro 3

The total number of affected health professionals is 447. It was 416 yesterday! It looks like these cases are not part of the total cases - will have to investigate more.

New cases in the past 24 hours: 17 cases - less than 1% growth.

Certainly anomalous. An increase of 17 cases but an increase of 31 in HCP's.

Official update (as of yesterday 8PM):

1,988 cases of COVID-19 Coronavirus in the Canary archipelago since the beginning of the crisis. 802 people hospitalised of which 156 in ICU and 107 deceased.

622 patients already discharged, 27 in Fuerteventura - thanks Lorena for keeping us up to date.

Total cases by island:

Tenerife 1,268
Gran Canaria 510
La Palma 83
Lanzarote 76
Fuerteventura 38
La Gomera 10
El Hierro 3

The total number of affected health professionals is 488 (447 yesterday). Wasn't able to find any extra info why they are not part of the total number yet, sorry.

New cases in the past 24 hours: 17 cases - less than 1% growth. It is 54 including HCP's and almost 3% daily growth.

Horrendous numbers for HCP's Sam. Quite appalling. Do you think that the 488 is over and above the 1988 or part of it? If it's part of it, it's almost 25%.

I'm hearing from a source that is generally very reliable that on 27th of this month, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, la Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro will be lifting restrictions for being in the streets whilst following strict guidelines. Minimum of 1m apart, masks to be worn and one or two further minor things to heed. Gran Canaria and Tenerife will remain in lockdown beyond this time. Please don't shoot the messenger if this does not come to pass.

Just been reading similar in Canarian Weekly except they excluded Fuerte and Lanza. All population of the very small population islands to be tested first. El Hiero are not happy, don't want to lift restrictions yet. It's just discussion at the moment, was going to copy article and post it later.

Thanks Tamara. Incredibly, I have never seen that site before, I shall certainly bookmark it. The story you have seen is here, https://www.canarianweekly.com/canaries-...nfinement/

My source is from the Cabildo. On a personal level, I would side with El Hierro's gov, it's a little premature. I do agree with the suggestion that the Canaries airports being the last to open though.
Edit.
No idea why, but the link won't copy as live.

EDIT: Link sorted. You had a dot at the beginning of the URL. Sam.

If the airports don't open, I think they can probably proceed with slow lifting of restrictions here and see what happens. 

Is the current restriction due to end on the 19th, or has it been officially extended already?
